Derek Saretzky: Triple-murder suspect to appear in court

Derek Saretzky charged in three deaths, including a father and daughter, to appear in court.

Saretzky was originally charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Terry Blanchette and his two-year-old daughter Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette last September.

He was arrested after Blanchette’s body was found in his Blairmore, home in the Crowsnest Pass of southwestern Alberta on Sept. 14. Authorities couldn’t find Hailey and issued an Amber Alert that stretched across Western Canada and into the United States.

Her body was found a day later in a rural area near Blairmore.

News of the girl’s death broke during a candlelight vigil where residents of the tight-knit town had gathered to pray for her safe return.

Police have said Saretzky and Blanchette were acquaintances, but have not elaborated on how the two men knew each other.

The little girl’s mother, Cheyenne Dunbar, has described Saretzky as an old friend to whom she hadn’t spoken in years.

Saretzky’s family is well known in the blue-collar mountain town as owners of a dry-cleaning business.
